Grace House of Windham sits in a two-story building and has a small, home-like setting with just 17 beds, which helps staff give each person a lot of attention, and there's a strong focus on making it feel comfortable and welcoming, kind of like being part of a big family with Susan Pike running things as the administrator and owner for over fifteen years, making sure everything has a personal touch you might not find in bigger places. The staff at Grace House is there 24/7, and they're trained to help with many needs, offering assisted living, residential care, memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and they provide palliative and hospice care, so residents don't have to move if their needs change. Residents get help with daily activities, healthcare, and wellness, and there are services like medical management, diabetic care, incontinence care, and support for those who need high acuity or non-ambulatory care, along with physical and occupational therapy when needed, plus the place is set up for people with memory loss to stay safe and comfortable, and there's special equipment like Hoyer and Sit to Stand lifts so caregivers can be gentle and careful.
Rooms come with private baths and wheelchair accessible showers, and both indoor and outdoor common areas are open to everyone, so people can gather, chat, or just relax as they want, and since the community is pet-friendly, residents can bring along dogs or cats if they'd like the company of a furry friend. Grace House takes care of meals with three thoughtfully prepared options every day from chefs and meal planners, and they take care of laundry and housekeeping too, so residents don't have to worry about chores. To keep active, there are daily exercise classes, health and wellness events, and a mix of social, educational, and fun things to do, both in the building and out in the community, with transportation available so people can get to and from appointments or activities without any trouble, and there's parking for visitors or if loved ones want to stop by. The staff work hard to keep in close touch with family members, answering questions quickly, and the setting just encourages residents and caregivers to build real connections, making each day as comfortable as possible whatever the needs may be.
